If you serve in the army, you do not get to decide who is your enemy. You are doing what is told.
Russians fought well, and they eventually captured part of Finland. The cost of their victory however was unpalatable for both sides.
Further, Finland's secession did not pissed Bolsheviks. Finland becoming socialist country is part of the Bolshevik's plan to bring communism to the entire world.
Both military and non-military means were used. Finland was attacked by the Red army. Other countries, where logistics were more difficult, Bolsheviks sent armies of agents of influence, including to the USA.
A lot of the Marxism and communism propaganda in the USA is the direct consequence of Bolsheviks/Soviets/Russians trying to meddle in the political process. Russian financed Marxist propoganda stopped in 1990's, however people who were on the payroll continue to do their job.
I have a hard time imagining an example of more difficult military logistics than invading the Karelian Peninsula (that's the area around the Finnish/Russian border).
The Russian invasion failed precisely because the logistics were so awful -- Russian units packed onto the very few, very poor roads and were ambushed continually by Finns hidden in the forests.

You never met a single Russian in your life, do you?
We're all Russian remember?
